Losing a loved one isn’t and will never be easy, but grief can sometimes get away from you and become too much to handle all on your own after a loved one’s funeral at a funeral home in Amboy, IL


How do you know if your grief is too much? And what can you do about it? 


While everyone’s grief can look a bit different, there are a few warning signs that ring true for everyone if grief is becoming too much. For example, an inability to move on, or the loss of enjoyment is a bad sign. You shouldn’t stop living your life completely during grief. You’re still allowed to pursue your interests and goals. If your grief is preventing you from pursuing activities that you enjoy, or enjoying things you normally would, you may just need help finding your way forward. Avoiding time with loved ones isn’t always good, either. Sometimes it’s easier to process grief on our own, but it’s also important to be with loved ones. If you find yourself consistently avoiding other people, you should consider getting some help with your grief. 


Another example is apprehension of new relationships due to the fear of loss. However, in order to move forward and continue to grow, we must forge new relationships. You might also need a bit of extra help if you find yourself getting lost in escapism in having an inability to continue normal activities. Staying busy or trying to escape to avoid feeling sad is not a long-term solution. Eventually, you will need to face your feelings. 


What can you do about it if you’re experiencing any or all of these things? 


Many people that are grieving find it very helpful to listen to grief podcasts as they are easily accessible and provide bereaved support and community in a very convenient way. Whether you’re looking for more causal listening or are hoping for expert advice, there are tons of helpful grief podcasts available on Spotify, including: 


  • The Mindfulness & Grief Podcast by Heather Stang – Heather Stang has a Master’s in death, dying and bereavement, called thanatology. This degree gives her a unique perspective to grief and can help listeners deal with hard emotions, encourage self-care and compassion, and honor what is left of the deceased. 
  • Good Grief by Blake Kasemeier – Blake lost her mother to lung cancer and then started Good Grief to help other people through their own losses and mourning journeys. 
  • What’s Your Grief by Eleanor Haley and Litsa Williams – Hosted by two mental health professionals, this podcast discusses the gamut of grief-related topics. 
  • Grief Out Loud by The Dougy Center – Hosted by a clinical social worker, Grief Out Loud talks about the most commonly avoided topics regarding grief. 
  • Grief/Relief by Moe Provencher – This podcast isn’t hosted by a professional and is geared more towards real people sharing real parts of their lives and grief to help normalize the topic.
